I have six hens but one is not eating the feed. I don't believe this is a new phenomenon as she is the smallest. I am feeding all six grower pellets because she is not laying yet.
She will eat everything (watermelon, corn cobs, scratch, grapes, etc..) but not the feed. This morning I even combined scratch and feed in a container (only for her) with the hope that she would eat the feed in addition to the scratch. She ended up eating all of the scratch and left the feed. I even watched her spit a feed pellet out of her mouth.
I am worried about her since she is very small and underdeveloped, especially as the temperatures get colder. I am looking for any and all suggestions!!
